hi guys here is my latest overwater.

Specs :

ash body
poplar top
full wengé neck
3 band eq
33 inch
tuning B to G

Attention to detail is absolutely stunning. Working with overwater is a pleasure, although i do recommend calling them straight, which has been a bit hard with me as I live in Germany. Yes they are not too good with emails......

it's the 1st ever 33 inch jazz with a low B they have ever done. It's basically a whole new model with a downsized jazz body etc.

just have a look.

cheers

Looks great! Beautiful.

I have a J5 24 in the works with Martin at this time. We have discussed having the angled headstock......

There's been posts about the idea that angled headstocks make the strings feel stiffer...not as flexible....what is your experience with your Overwater J with the angled headstock?

Thanks!

yes its possible with a 33 inch :P

Nonsense! It can't be done.
Look, a low B is 61.7354 Hz - give or take in equal temperament, and thus disregarding some Pythagorean overtone stuff.
Divided by two, this gives a neck length of 30.867 inch.
Your neck is 33 inch, a factor 1.069 too long, giving you a slightly uptuned low C.

One can't beat physics, see. :P :D :ph34r: :yarr: etc. etc. etc.


best,
bert

PS
Sigh. Yes, I know ... :D
